Why don’t they just break up?
Millisecond pulsars haven’t been observed to spin faster than ~700 Hz — if they don’t fly apart until ~1 kHz, why haven’t we found any faster specimens?

The next glitch on pulsar J0537-6910 can be predicted to within a few days.
In this bite we will explore nucleosynthesis in the merger of
neutron stars, by the light of gravitational waves and light itself.
Neutron star black hole mergers are an ideal way to measure the Hubble constant.
Continuous gravitational waves produced by spinning neutron stars are another avenue for LIGO to listen to the Universe.
Flux tubes in the superfluid-superconductor mixture inside of neutron stars may form bundles, or merge into larger, multi-quantum flux tubes.
